the only. right through from sol via time. resignation of the president. to coming up on the. priorities was facebook to slow to stop the spread of footage of shooting at mosques church. political views. i put certain stories about certain political issues i am shadow and so. what my concern is when they continue to ban these kinds of things and this kind of stuff that's only going to perpetuate shadow. is the so-called occupation of its offices in the us as opposition members for control of

buildings in washington. every year tuning in from right around the world this hour welcome to mosque international your company. our top story the republican. first and only leader. has resigned as president of the country after almost three decades with a correspondent for more. just thinking there's a whole suite a whole generation of never known any other leader but. there. was this is shock to them how did this come about. you have to understand that this is not just a random presidential resignation. you just said it is marking the end of

a new year and just a few facts for you to support this idea not a sore thumb as above has announced his resignation after twenty nine just think about the year is in power a while serving his feet term as the country's president he had been in fact the first and the only president of kazakstan since its independence from the soviet union in nineteen ninety so this is something really big for eighteen million people for sure and that's the mother by it has announced his resignation in a special televised address to the nation early on tuesday simply saying i have made the decision to end my duties as president so no one can say for sure what this seventy eighty year old prominent politician key political figure for his country and around the world actually in the region definitely was driven by but it's done let's take a listen now. to another during the start of. my status is the first

president and leader of this nation i will remain the chairman of the security council which is vested with serious powers to determine the country's domestic and foreign policy i will continue as the chairman of the democratic people's party and as a member of the constitutional council as such i remain with you as a citizen of this country as a person who loves my people and my country. according to the country's constitution speaker of the country santa at the upper chamber of the country's parliament will act as the interim president until a new president is elected and as far as we know this man is coming from the same party as i'm not sold on that by and actually say that most likely he will continue a policy of not survive so i'm not sure how much changes we're going to see in the near future and really when you think of those policy people in the region they would put a lot of adar and stability to the president believes. for the most part i guess

has been a success over the or else they wouldn't keep putting him back in but this is a country lots of oil reserves must have country lots of neighbors it's a big geopolitical player in the region what's next for it i think it will more or less stay they sway because not sold on that it will not be the country's president anymore but as you just heard he will continue leading the country's security council which is a very important very big yeah it is a powerful body. as i start responsible for many decisions in many spheres of live including strategic military decisions which i'm sure that there's a. leaving the post of. president of kazakhstan it is a special day for eighteen million population of course but i'm pretty sure that he will continue to play an important role in the country's political lives and

kazakhstan will continue plain control as a regional player you know that can i start. invested a lot in some peace initiatives like in syria you're familiar with so-called astronaut it's an enormous thing to bring peace and stability back to syria and astronaut plays a very important role in this process so i'm pretty sure it's going to stay more or less this way very interesting thank you very much for bringing us the latest on a lot of aspects maria was bringing up there let's try and go through some of them work martin callie a historian an expert on russia and the former soviet space is live on the program martin good to see you how surprised were you by this this and what do you think prompted the resignation he was president you don't know where you're plus to go in his room. there were questions about the president has a bias. and. in the past they thought about heard his daughter as religious

excess or but she's been cast aside so therefore the question now is who would succeed him as president i think he would have a major say in that should maybe health probably be one reason the other reason is that the cousin stanley economy is not doing as well as it did in the past and multiple problems and coverage than has become more minded with the cause of language being stressed even more more and that means that the russian and german my dorothy's have dwindled so therefore they're leaving the country and because many of them are specialists the engineers and so on middle class and so on which is a loss too but they cause externalities the president waved at aside and said. he's busy the future for the cause externally so there's that problem then that the right there is a fact underground movement. because split between

israel blocks between china and russia. and it's trying to play off one against the other and not to be taken over by either one of the recent developments are it becoming closer to russia. on the world stage martin what's your take and the geo political implications are we likely for instance to see kazakstan reorients itself and globally. well they have been meetings with the brake placed on these pics have always seen themselves as the boss of central asia the dominant public large population and so on and the banks have been trying to improve relations with the other nationalities the other states in central asia including cousin. and so therefore i think you'll see no central asian time because it's. so long they will try and come together. and make sure this

vive this because the worst thing in the world would be a crisis in kazakhstan. and a fight for power which would in fact we can cause it and then might actually affect other states in central asia just just a lot more and more and start to rip but you have a population here the majority of the eighteen million in the country will and will not have known anything else but this person as president what kind of immediate impact do you forsee inside kazakstan. what i would say that very little because the younger generation the young the younger educated population they were once a greater say they've been they've been protesting and they want a greater say in the future of kazakhstan so therefore the new president will in fact have to take that on board because it right ok after the collapse of communism kazakhstan was set up for the first time coast and became a sovereign state for the first time in one nine hundred ninety and that period is

over that's twenty five years ago that's a generation ago and we can now look forward to a greater participation younger educated generation a greater participation in politics and the way that because it's time goes so the for the new president will be confronted with that because at the back if you like at the back of the room will be. giving advice and so on and he will be saying we don't want any shocks we don't want to be rapid changes that's have gradual change but let's control change because he has. changed get out of control there have been protests and of course there's always the threat of islamic fundamentalism because of so many issues martin isn't there fascinating really just the ramifications of what can come out at best time has beaten us unfortunately martin mccauley historian and russia expert live on the program thanks martin. where i came moving on to more of truth this big news story is facebook is facing sharp criticism for

feeling to prevent the live streaming or friday's mosque shootings in new zealand and the subsequent circulation of the footage the country's prime minister just send to our door and said that social media sites need to do far more to tackle the spread of extremist cult and. i would call on our social media platforms of all variety to demonstrate the kind of responsibility that both lead to these have been and that includes stars who perpetuate their messages in the aftermath there is a lot of work that needs to be done. while for around seventeen minutes the gunmen live stream the massacre which left fifty people dead on facebook shortly after the video appeared on other social media sites the platforms did try to block the content but reportedly it could still easily be found hours after the atrocity in the first twenty four hour was removed one point five million views of the attack globally of which over one point two million were blocked and upload we continue to

work around the clock to remove violating contemned using a combination of technology and people lose the middle we are working vigilant to remove any violent footage. facebook says it was only notified about what had happened twelve minutes after the live stream ended police in new zealand heard of as you can see here warn people that spreading the footage is punishable by imprisonment we asked attorney jennifer braden media analyst lowell house social media giant should be addressing the challenges posed by their technologies. i respectfully submit that when you show violence a good human being it's a form of pornography we have to as a society say no facebook you can do much better for kids for people who would see this not necessarily because it would inspire the next shooting which you very well good because these losers need some form of acclimation out of just human decency without bringing in the government as laws

and penalties and we're hearing from officials government officials from the prime minister in new zealand talking about preventing future attacks like this and then going on to censoring when this attack happens how in the world does that prevent this attack we're spending so much time talking about we can have videos like this with as or so or think it might lead to more rather than answering questions that need to be asked i mean one of the main problems on the scene here is that we continue to put band-aids on gunshot wounds and we need to stop that we need to stop putting band-aids on we need to stop saying let's just stop everybody from there that he doesn't you know we can get rid of x. rated movies should it come down immediately yes should this be kept from the public yes take it down i want facebook and others abroad to have exactly you whatever attitude allow your world and they have we're talking to you now and you're going to be lucky if you you know they're talking about arguing people will hardly blinded from these sightings will fellow line dead but you're not talking about how will this prevent it nobody's talked about prevent you the question is

should be banned them say yes and what i want facebook to do is if i put certain stories about certain political issues i am shadow bad show fast and i want them to use that technology in their genius to figure out wait a minute we're having somebody right now people are being killed this is going to come down from our platform what my concern is when we continue to ban these kinds of things can ban this kind of stuff that's only going to perpetuate shadel ban and that's something i agree should never happen but we're giving sub. and our and authority to social media platforms to tent that is so when to hurt us later we don't know who they're going to not like it's all subjective no matter what kind of computer algorithm at the end of the day it will be subjective now listen dr burke do me a favor if you see somebody shooting and killing people shouted down we'll talk about it later don't have a debate do you think that maybe we're giving one person die die die die die die

the right to automatically and who's to say whether this could one day be done today people being shot dead whether this might include war coverage. how many people would support me that while as we're debating this there's some kid somewhere which you ever talk about watching this seeing real time slaughter or the families of these people or whatever of this is violent pornography yes this is horrible that i never want to see this i never want my children to see this i don't want any person to be subject to this kind of violence in this horrible obscene material these publications but this is what i have seen governments cannot stop this these companies cannot stop this people who post something positive about donald trump are being taken off of social media because of social media heads and managers and so we want them to ban other things instead of us and that is my main thing is that they can't they will not will facebook is facing public scrutiny not

just to read something of hate content but also for how it treats personal data it's been a year since the scandal broke concerning political consulting firm cambridge on the let's account it reportedly bolts personal data from facebook which it then sold on to third parties who used it to leverage political advantage while double quarter has been looking at whether facebook's privacy policies have changed since then. one might say facebook's had a productive year in its fight against fake news perhaps you've seen their war room . read the headlines. and heard the assurances we've deployed new ai tools that do a better job of identifying fake accounts that may be trying to interfere in elections or spread misinformation mark zuckerberg has gone after both sides of the

political spectrum from alex jones to the russia friendly left it's also been a year since it broke that the social media giant had sold off the data of eighty million users to a political advertising firm transferred facebook data to cambridge analytic or personal data mined from nearly eighty seven million facebook users the largest security breach in the company's history this is this is a challenge for more cloud companies so what is facebook actually done aside from zuckerberg saying sorry that is no it was a big mistake and that was a mistake and it was my mistake and i'm really sorry that this happened i'm sorry and i'm sorry for it spoiler alert and not a lot facebook promised a forensic audit of cambridge analytic but never delivered then they said they'd look into apps with suspicious activity and punish those who broke privacy rules the last we heard of that was august twenty eighth and then there was the promise of

a new option to clear personal information from the platform if the user wants facebook said that the changes would only take a few months back in may last year and we're still left empty handed but will facebook come out unscathed the researcher behind the cambridge analytic app is suing facebook for defamation alex did not lie alex was not to for all its alex did not deceive them this was not a scam facebook knew exactly will this app was doing was should have known facebook desperately needed to scapegoat and alex was the scapegoat at the same time a british newspaper is reporting that some facebook shareholders may have been complicit in the data harvesting and the buck doesn't stop there either the federal government is now investigating how zuckerberg treats client privacy. to see deeks very seriously recent press reports raises substantial concerns to both the brothers who broke to sophie's book it's been a year since the biggest privacy scandal in social media but at least facebook's

gotten around to censoring alternative media donald quarter r.t. in less than ninety seconds i'll be right here with more world news this tuesday stay with us. you know world's big partners a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic to follow can only really and. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. back the french armed forces minister and the trump administration for putting pressure on washington's nato allies to buy u.s. made weapons she say is the integrity of the alliance should not be undermined by america's financial interests. the alliance should be unconditional.

otherwise it's not in the lines. and they. close it's called article five not article if thirty five while in the statement that you just heard the french defense minister was referring to us cohen but aircraft which is after thirty five of the minister was expressing concern over u.s. president donald trump quite as she said conditional approach towards nido and european allies she was speaking at the atlantic council where she's stressed that and it is time that europe move away from full dependency on u.s. weapons supplies and she also spoke on long term u.s. commitment to nato this is how the french minister slammed trump's idea of

a needle solidarity. europe has a single most open markets. and i'm personally more concerned at the notion that the strengths of nato. might be made conditional on allies buying this or that equipment the french minister's words are highlighted by the recent spat between the u.s. and turkey now the us a blast to turkey's refusal to abandon its deal with russia to buy russia's as four hundred air defense systems now it called one of the major stumbling blocks in the relations between the two countries but we're concerned about their purchase of the russian air defense system called b s four hundred the big problem you know it goes against our policy to have a nato allies such as turkey use an asse four hundred system part of the problem with that is that it is not in iraq for a ball with other nato systems we've also made it clear to turkey that we have very

serious. concerns with its stated plans to proceed with the acquisition of the russian s four hundred missile defense system calling for you were to become more and more independent from u.s. weapons supplies is not something new just last year the french presence in mainland mccraw in the voice stay decades old idea to create a real european army which would be independent from its a partner on the other side of the planting but the us president donald trump harshly criticized that he even called it insulting so it's really saying is that what's happening now is that some needle countries are willing to move away from being fully dependent on u.s. weapons supplies while washington is doing everything in its power to stop that from taking place. the united states has imposed a new round of economic sanctions on crisis hit bennis will at this choose their

targeting the nation's state run mining company the move comes after venice will lead to nonce what it is calling the seizure of its diplomatic buildings in the united states there are no under control of opposition representatives in washington and in new york caracas is described as not a legal forceful occupation well after washington recognize self declared interim leader one. that's when it broke off diplomatic relations with the u.s. and with drew its stuff here's our tease done cohen. this quiet street is the latest battleground for venezuela a country thousands of miles away and opposition leader does representatives planning to seize control of this building the military attache carlos vic you as one goes so-called ambassador to the united states before entering the military attaché is building he took control of another nearby building owned by the

venezuelan government he was able to do so simply by calling the locks. myth and perhaps more importantly receiving the blessing of the u.s. state department they destroy everything so that's what they have done here that basically destroyed these cults and again this is a nasa does belong to the venezuelan sun day instead of preserving preserving the assets just just i mean you saw what they did and so imagine the they do these here in the us you can imagine what they are doing in venezuela. outside the military attaché is building vecchio raise the venezuelan flag pounding out code being protesters chanting hands off venezuela inside the building vecchio replaced a portrait of elected president nicolas maduro with one of it's not the first time the us has recognized alternative figures in place of an existing government in two thousand and eleven washington did the same in syria and seven years later but is

still in power i don't have any doubt that their benefits are ready for a change the change will call. doesn't come because we thought they don't cheat in this way that we have on the table that he's willing to kill the people he's going to keep privilege but that would be the end meanwhile vecchio is setting his sights on the venezuelan embassy in may he sees that building as early as wednesday in washington dan cohen r t. a former pentagon security policy analyst michael maloof say's the actions by the venice will and opposition go well beyond diplomatic norms. we're seeing here is a is a diplomatic posturing a diplomatic dance if you will that and in which the united states is carrying on in a way that is not. normally allowed or are you keeping with diplomatic norms in international law it sets a precedent anything like this could send

a potential precedent and especially if the united states did it then everybody else can point to say look the united states did it it must be ok now you know it's only it only the international law is only as strong as the countries that abide by it and if you've got fifty other countries that are recognizing. over and over more duro that is in effect setting up a de facto recognition and also another level of diplomatic approach that heretofore has not been done well we're back in washington watching the hawks again the moment they do join me for all the use updates this change the thirty this is twenty four seven forty introduction.

shows seem wrong. but i. just don't. get to see. just the answer. and if detroit equals betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. thank you i. thank you. very. much and that was show. me the. you. know all of the.

readings and salutation. the week begins hawk watchers with many around the world across the entire web still mourning the ripper tragedy that struck christchurch new zealand last week by now most of us know the ugly story of how a white nationalist maniac complete with manifesto live streamed himself attacking two separate mosques when being fifty and ultimately taking the lives of fifty innocent people in their place of worship of course here in the united states we responded with our now very typical very disappointing political circus of talking points finger pointing and grandstanding followed by the tragic event but one moment this weekend stood out amongst all the noise and the buzz words it was an unplanned unexpected and passionate exchange between new york university student

and muslim rights activists leaned back and chelsea clinton of the clinton dynasty while both of them were attending a vigil in new york for the victims of the christ church massacre stake a listen. you're all the time in all this for you but it. is a bit closer. to. a week we're going to have to wait till we get a to see if this this phrase here is the result and that's ok still i feel like you went down hill and i want you to know that i want you to feel deep inside twenty nine people died to discover better but. i don't think you did and i'm sorry you feel that we. never believed that. the actions and words that white was referring to were clinton's tweets condemning us representative bill on omar private the audacity the audacity crazy of her to publicly question a packin the israeli government's political influence over us politicians naturally

the elite on both sides of the aisle came screaming to the defense of poor poor poor poor or hurt chelsea clinton as they do when one of their own is actually confronted and held accountable by one of the by one of us of the unwashed masses who are supposed to just shut up there was we're told and never ever question authority or the next in line for the throne it's going to be an interesting and fun and controversial show today so let's start by watching the hawks. want to see the street get the thing like the real thing the truth this would be the last piece of the plot to sit. with me like you that i got. with that we. would. be.
